\"Inspiration\"<\/a>

Image via Pexals<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Despite its predecessor, and a precarious beginning, there is somehow still a feeling of optimism for 2017. Perhaps 2017 is more open to new perspectives and in need of individuals with a super-charged notion that they can make small yet impactful steps to move this big orb that we live on in a positive direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the optimism that a new year brings doesn\u2019t have to be a January flash in the pan — it can endure. \u00a0I was reminded of this when flipping through the pages of \u201c<\/span>In the Company of Women \u00a0\u00a0– Inspiration and Advice from over 100 Makers, Artists and Entrepreneurs\u201d<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0The pages are filled with advice and anecdotes from professionals who jumped fearlessly into the unknown and overcame many obstacles to carve their own path and define their own version of success. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, in life, as in PR, sometimes trying out something fresh and packing your bag with a healthy dose of humour, optimism and good spirit, will lead somewhere uncharted and awesome! <\/span><\/p>\n

Throw your arms around 2017 and be inspired by these relentless and resilient ladies. Here are some of my favourite picks from \u201cIn the Company of Women\u201d: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tavi Gevinson<\/b><\/a>, Writer, Magazine Editor in Chief, New York. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Professional motto? \u201cDo what\u2019s in front of you.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Traits you are most proud of? \u201cI have a physical aversion to wasting time. It helps to recognize self-doubt as such.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Michele Quan<\/b><\/a>, Ceramicist, Designer, Brooklyn, New York. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Biggest overall lesson you\u2019ve learned in running your own business. \u201cKeep it simple and do the work.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Linda Rodin<\/b><\/a>, Stylist, Beauty Entrepreneur, New York, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Biggest overall lesson (in) business. \u201cPatience.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Thelma Golden<\/b><\/a>, Museum Director and Chief Curator, New York, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

A fear or professional challenge that keeps you up at night? \u00a0\u201cI like to think of challenges as opportunities \u2013 opportunities to think differently and create something new. And I welcome the charge I get from acknowledging them as such.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Lisa Hunt<\/b><\/a>, Designer, Artist, Brooklyn, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

In moments of self doubt or adversity, how do you build yourself back up? \u201cI am nothing if not resilient! I\u2019ve nurtured the ability to feel nervous but jump in anyway and know that if I make a mistake or misjudgement, I have the smarts to work things out.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Cheryl Day<\/b><\/a>, Baker, Author, Savannah, GA. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Best piece of business advice. \u201c(Don\u2019t) rest on your laurels. Whether it is the hours you are open for business or the frequency in posting on a blog, let people know they can depend on you. I believe that being consistent has been one of the best ways to build a good reputation and grow (the) business.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Karen Young, Product Designer, Entrepreneur, Brooklyn, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Biggest lesson (in) business. \u201cIt takes ten years to achieve overnight success\u2026. Prepare for the long haul, the rise and fall, and let neither define your sense of self.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

What does the world need more of? Less of? \u201cThe world needs more authentic, honest, and vulnerable connections. Less polish, more authenticity. \u201c<\/span><\/p>\n

Elise Kornack and Anna Hieronimus<\/b><\/a>. Chef, Restaurateurs, Brooklyn, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Biggest lesson (in) business. \u201cMost of the time things don\u2019t turn out the way you expect, and that\u2019s usually not a bad thing. Don\u2019t let go of your goals, but let go of your expectations. Be patient in all ways.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hana Getachew<\/b><\/a>, Textile Designer, Brooklyn, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

After a setback, how do you build yourself back up? \u201cI try to remind myself that every mistake made is a lesson learned and a step toward improving, and perseverance is my greatest asset.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ashley C Ford, Writer, Brooklyn, NY. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Personal or Professional Motto? \u201cYou are more than the worst thing you\u2019ve ever done.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
